Developed Brief and Developed Design

Developed Brief The brief and current proposal has been developed through a series of engagement events.

This began with a site visit and design workshop, with the skatepark user group, on 25th February 2019. This established the key objectives of the refurbishment from the user group’s perspective. This lead into the first public engagement at the skatepark. Camden held this event with Rolling Studio in the skatepark on 9th March. Dozens of responses where collected from skaters, BMX and scooter riders, and the general public including the Friends of Cantelowes Gardens.

The second round of engagements included a design workshop with the skatepark user group on 25th March, an intense period of design work and revisions, and a site meeting with the build team to review repair work. Three design options were produced in response to the expanding brief.

Saturday 27th April 2019 saw engagement on these three design options (right) at the skatepark. A clear direction was obtained from both the skatepark user group and the wider public, as set out below.

Refurbishment and repairs.

Underpin and stitch existing big hip back into existing slab; Grind/polish floor of bowl; Clean and fill missing sections of concrete with Ardex; Paint transitions of bowl - transitions only, not floor slab; Raise railing to big hip by 2cm to improve RoSPA inspection score.

New works. Proposal are to develop the following attributes of the engagement proposals:

From Option A: a DIY-style beginner/fun area to the NW corner of the park, removing the existing rail but without resorting to the extensive overbuild approach of option B; upgrading the banana rail into a carveable, transitioned slider.

From Option B: use the lower driveway profile adjacent to the bowl within new, less extensive proposals; reconfigure driveway but in a considerable more extensive manner, see below.

From Option C: develop design of new pyramid as banked feature with extension; retain flow as existing with small hip from extension towards bowl platform; add/consider wedge/curb feature in place of existing block.

From discussion during engagement: Extensive works to existing driveway - retain placement and wall-ride, remove centre section and reinstate with modern driveway profile, add transition element to wall-ride.

Option A 27.04.2019

Option B 27.04.2019

Option C 27.04.2019

Developed Proposals - driveway works (above), new wedge features (top right) and manny/ledge combo block (above)

Developed Proposals - pyramid rebuild (above), with Hubba (top right) and Tranny Banana and pump bump (bottom right)

Developed Proposals - kite bank, pump bump and tranny banana features from engagement discussions on site (top- row) and DIY area with relocated micro-mini and optional hip (bottom row)

Developed Proposals - DIY-style area with retained brick printed concrete (top left), driveway (2.1m wide) tombstone extension (bottom row) and return quarter pipe. NB: gate location as existing with 2.5m from ramps.
